The world around us is populated by invisible phenomenon. Most of the
modern technology that we use is sometimes invisible. As interaction
designers, we constantly talk about them and use them to shape
experiences. However, sometimes we also wonder how might they look and
behave like? And that is exactly what this project set out to explore ?
to make the invisible visible.

We chose to make Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) that surround us visible.
EMFs are particularly strong around devices with electrical and magnetic
parts. Using long exposure photography and stop-frame animation we tried
to ?light-paint? the EMF around objects like our laptops and an old
tape-deck.

Through a series of experiments in photographic and lighting techniques
followed by customising an Android phone to act as an EMF indicator and
then coding our own app in Processing we were able to visualize how
these fields change over objects.
